This was created shortly after the tragedy that was (and STILL is) the Trayvon Martin murder in 2012. Some Hollywood people wanted to remake Chaka Khan's re-make of the classic and tapped me to come up with a new arrangement literally overnight. My version was eventually not used, but I decided to still post it because hey...I did it in half a day and was proud of it. The original co-writer of the song (Ricky Rouse) came after me earlier this year thinking I was trying to get publicity for something I had up for over 3 years and wasn't even trying to push so *shrugs* whatever. No disrespect intended and definitely no infringement caused as this is simply my original take/rearrangement and nothing more, and was requested by reps for Chaka herself, even if it wasn't used.

Anyway, enjoy, for those who do :)

SUPER LIFE lyrics (Chaka Khan, Ricky Rouse)

A mama's cryin'
'Cause another young man has gone and died
He's not some statistic
He's another awesome destiny denied

So I've got to stand tall
I'm gonna live a super life
For the rest of my life
I'm gonna live a super life
Super life, super life, yeah

We take it all so lightly
How did we get so 'climatized
On the 9 o'clock news nightly
Genocide of babies
I can't believe my eyes

Right or wrong
I'm gonna live a super life
For the rest of my life
I'm gonna live a super life
Super life, super life, yeah

You know the wrath of a woman
Is gonna bring about hell to pay
Everyone together come on get with me
Or get on out my way

I'm gonna live a super life
I'm gonna live a super life
(For the babies)

I'm gonna live a super life
I'm gonna live a super life
(For the babies)

THE OFFICIAL SOUNDCLOUD ACCOUNT FOR AHMED SIROUR

Well, after having many tracks on Soundcloud, include various remixes that were up for years without any issue, SC started throwing strikes at me left and right, even with those I had proof I had permission to post, but they decided to take down my former page: (at)22music, inclusive of the thousands of wonderful followers who've joined me over the years.

So now I start back from the very beginning, the ground up, and hopefully many of you will find me again as well as newcomers who are hearing my work for the first time--and this time it will only be MY original work (or remixes that are verified)! lol Either way, I hope you take yet another journey again with me as I push the envelope with even more music, more positive vibrations, and more influences from around the world as I infuse my travels into my sounds...

..was a 70s disco baby until daddy brought home the first Suger Hill record. There were lots of light blue and orange 12 inches around the house after that--I've been hooked ever since.
